Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
You see, good cooking is not just made up of laborious and complex recipes. In fact, together we have easily given birth to reading doves, which you can serve to your family for breakfast on Easter day or - why not? - you can also turn them into original place cards!Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
Light Lemon Biscuits for Easter are rather caloric pastry desserts. They provide a lot of carbohydrates, a significant amount of fat and little protein. The breakdown of lipids (in favor of the saturated ones) and the moderate presence of cholesterol make them unsuitable for the "hypercholesterolemic" diet, while the considerable presence of carbohydrates and calories excludes their application in the diet for diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia and overweight. The average portion of Light Lemon Biscuits is about 25-30g (90-105kcal).
